A balconied Regency-Gothic semi-detached villa dating from the early 19th century, presented in excellent decorative order and retaining high ceilings, ornate mouldings and generous room proportions. The house extends to about 2,379 sq ft across multiple reception rooms, a study and a garden room, offering flexible family living or a cultured city base close to Hampstead Heath.
This five-bedroom home sits discreetly behind a large front garden on one of NW3s most sought-after streets. Its plot is unusually generous for the area and the layout includes a formal dining room, TV room and reception spaces that suit entertaining as well as everyday family life. The property is freehold and benefits from fast broadband, making it suitable for modern working patterns.
The house has significant historic interest, formerly home to figures from British theatre and literature, which will appeal to buyers who value provenance and character. Practical points to note: there are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, council tax is very expensive and local recorded crime levels are above average. Mobile signal is only average.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful Regency residence with a large plot and flexible accommodation near 800 acres of Heathland. It will suit buyers who prioritise heritage, space and location and who are prepared for the compromises that come with an historic home in a very affluent inner-London setting.
